A friend whose surname is King named his son Elvis The .. His wife divorced him and had the kid's name changed to Bill or George or Anything but Sue later the same year.

As a policeman in an urban municipality of underprivileged, I encountered people whose given names were "Porsha Mercedes", "Shato Breeon" "Fattifanny", "Shardunay", "Tanqueray" and many others I can't remember. Somewhere in my beat, I'm sure there's a kid named "Fahrvergnugen" but I never found him.

Haven't seen either one of these but I was driving the other day and saw a billboard and the guys name was Phillip Aycock.

The next one took me a good 10 minutes to figure out how to pronounce. This girl comes into work and hands me a sheet of paper of course I look at her name and it reads La-ah. I just stared at her and the name until finally she told me its pronounced La dash ah.

Here's the origin of that one:

My mother used to work with a guy named Richard Head. Seriously, Dick Head. He wisely chose to call himself by his first two initials and was known as 'R. L. Head'.

Growing up in Hong Kong, I led a YMCA camp as a teenager where one of the local kids had a very normal name of "富景豪" - his English name was writte as a phoentic spelling of the Chinese, so it read Fu, King Ho.

One of the caucasian counsellors was reading out the names for registration, got to his and read it out...

We all burst out laughing and the poor kid started crying.... having no idea why we were laughing.

I wish this were a joke, but my sister named her 1st born son Tiger. At first I thought it was a cool name, then I remembered what his last name would be.

I dont wish the name Tiger Gillie on any boy. He's a great kid, but damn.......

What a coincidence, his cousin Lyeng Ho is in the San Jose, Ca. phonebook.

The one that always made me laugh was Mike Hunt. One of those say it three times fast type of things.

I used to work with a Mike Hund. One day I called him, dialing his number from memory. A female answered the phone, which was strange because I dialed Mike's direct line. "Hello?"; "Yes, is Mike there?"; "Mike? Mike Who?"; "Mike Hund"; "Real funny a$$hole. Get a life" and then she hung up. I was flabbergasted. What the heck was that all about. Then I looked down, saw the number i had dialed.....oops. Poor lady thought it was prank phone call....it really wasn't. When I finally got a hold of Mike, he laughed his butt off when I told him what happened.

Read the first two pages and don't think i saw this one. When i was in school I went to the same summer camp every year. One of the older counselors name was mike and I had known him for years. At the end of camp each year they gave a list with everyone in the camp and emails incase anyone wanted to stay in touch. I was flipping through looking and saw the counselors page and was reading their names. Turns out his last name was Hunt.. Yep his name is Mike Hunt.
